PRESS RELEASE: TEN YEARS OF RUNNING BAREFOOT - 57 at 57!

Before FiveFinger shoes, before Chris McDougall and "Born to Run," there was Barefoot Rick with his bare feet logging thousands of barefoot running miles!

Join 57-year old Barefoot Rick Roeber at the 2013 Waddell & Reed Kansas City Marathon on 10/19/13 as he celebrates 10 years of running barefoot and over 21,000 barefoot miles! The 2013 Kansas City Marathon will be his 75th marathon (26.2 miles) with the last 57 marathons barefoot.
